Things That Should Be Common Knowledge By Now

[Ivory Record]

There was always going to be a civil war, whether about slavery or something else. It comes as part and parcel of being large nation.

What about Canada?

We're too lazy for a civil war. Also much less densely populated.

[Bottle]

You're not funny, you know.

I know, but I still couldn't resist it.

Do we need to have the "funny once" talk?

Probably best that you find a new gag.

[Khadgar]

There was always going to be a civil war, whether about slavery or something else. It comes as part and parcel of being large nation.

So seeing as we've doubled in size since then (geographically) and more than doubled in population since then, does that mean we should have a civil war again?

Can we just have the secession part and skip the war?

[The New Age Republic]

That not all Muslims are crazy dudes who want to kill everyone, thats just the warped idiots who give them all a bad name.

[The New Age Republic]

Or that North Korea is the best Korea!

Oh god I wish. We could chuck all the white supremacists and the randian supermen all at once. Just remind them, no take backs. They move out of the house it's on their asses to survive.

[Nimzonia]

I thought we were also unique in having invented the unicycle.

Alright, Metalurgy and all derivatives, as well.

I think it would be easier to list the tools animals have used, than the ones they haven't.

[United Meritocratic Athiest Democracy]

Africa is not a country.

[Grenartia]

What about Canada?

I don't think population density has much to do with it. After all, Canada and Libya have more or less the same pop.density, according to wiki.

Obviously.

OBAMA. GUNS. REVOLUTION 2014!!

Nah. Everybody knows any secession would be red states. Do you realize how many red states have nuclear weapons installations? We can't trust red states with nukes.

It should be common knowledge that I'm a woman, but I keep needing to remind people almost every day. D:

Is the term "Lesbian" in English capable of meaning more than a woman who enjoys womans?

No.

No.

That is quite silly to think you are not a woman then.

[Grenartia]

No.

That is quite silly to think you are not a woman then.

Unless of course, one thinks its one of those snarky things people say about themselves. Not saying I don't think Olthar is actually a lesbian, just that I can understand some people not putting much faith in the thing in her sig, given the general snark level in this place. Its not always a good thing.

[Humanska]

Porn shouldn't be banned.

[Grenartia]

Porn shouldn't be banned.

Unless its child porn.

On a related note, it should also be really fucking common knowledge that having sex with kids is inherently a Bad Thing^TM. I can't believe I actually have to post this, but apparently somebody here actually thought kiddie-diddling was ok so long as you paid them or their pimps.

[Oppressorion]

No.

Unless you're Greek.

[Threlizdun]

It should be common knowledge that I'm a woman, but I keep needing to remind people almost every day. D:

Most people still refer to me by using masculine pronouns, though to be fair, I don't have it in my sig like you do.

[Farnhamia]

No.

Unless you're Greek.

No, they sold the rights to the word a few years ago. Budget problems, you know.

"Lesbian" as a term to describe sexuality is very new, dating only to the 1890s or so.

In the United States people believe 16-year-olds are children.

I find this weird, since when I was 9 (already deep into puberty by then, with my growth spurt almost completed) I thought if I could get a 20-year-old girl, I would be the luckiest boy in all of History and the Universe.

Not that I advocate such relationships to be normal or acceptable, but seriously, 14-year-olds would know if they are raped or not.

[Olthar]

No.

Unless you're Greek.

Greek isn't English.

Who?

[Farnhamia]

Greek isn't English.

It's weird how foreigners cling to their out-moded languages, isn't it?

A few still refer to me with masculine pronouns, though I admittedly keep a lot of the shit in my sig spoilered.

1. In the United States people believe 16-year-olds are children.

2. I find this weird, since when I was 9 (already deep into puberty by then, with my growth spurt almost completed) I thought if I could get a 20-year-old girl, I would be the luckiest boy in all of History and the Universe.

3. Not that I advocate such relationships to be normal or acceptable, but seriously, 14-year-olds would know if they are raped or not.

1. Yes and no. They're legally minors, so they still need parental guidance though many states have set their age of consent at 16. But since its so close to 18, as long as the person having sex with the 16 year old in question is within about 4 years of age, most people don't really give two shits, unless they want to start shit, or if they're parents of the 16 year old.

2. That's what nearly all non-asexual people think, albiet replacing "girl" with whatever gender they prefer.

3. The problem is that 14 year olds can be prone to manipulation, especially by much older people.
